  • Tuesdays With Morrie Quotes

      • "Do the kinds of things that come from the heart. When you do, you won’t be dissatisfied, you won’t be envious, you won’t be longing for somebody else’s things. On the contrary, you’ll be overwhelmed with what comes back." -Morrie
      • "Love is how you stay alive, even after you are gone." -Morrie
      • "Don't hang on too long, but don't let go too soon." -Morrie
      • "So many people walk around with a meaningless life. They seem half-asleep, even when they're busy doing things they think are important. This is because they're chasing the wrong things.

      • "Take my condition. The things I am supposed to be embarrassed about now — not being able to walk, not being able to wipe my ass, waking up some mornings wanting to cry — there is nothing innately embarrassing about them. It's the same for women not being thin enough, or men not being rich enough. It's just what our culture would have you believe. Don't believe it." -Morrie
      • "As you grow, you learn more. If you stayed as ignorant as you were at twenty- two, you'd always be twenty-two. Aging is not just decay, you know. It's growth. It's more than the negative that you're going to die, it's the positive that you understand you're going to die, and that you live a better life because of it." -Morrie
      • "The truth is . . . once you learn how to die, you learn how to live." -Morrie

And if you are ever going to have other people trust you, you must feel that you can trust them too-even when you are in the dark. Even when you're falling." -Morrie (61)
      • "The culture we have does not make people feel good about themselves. And you have to be strong enough to say if the culture doesn't work, don't buy it." -Morrie (42)
